Sphinx 7 Report post Posted December 14, 2012 Hello. Both myself and Harry want to start organising regular meets in our section of the woods, however we want to make sure it's not going to be us two sat in a car park arguing over who gets to take what car home. So, basically, quick question to see who would be willing to come down to our part of the world for a meet? We're currently deciding between a few good pubs :Big Grin: Bunch of Carrots - HR1 4JR (Bonus is the owner/manager drives a 156) The Trumpet - HR8 2RA - (Bonus is the location is more central, closer to Gloucester folk) Ledbury Rugby Club (Floodlit carpark, and a bar) I'm sure Harry's mentioned a couple of others, but I rarely pay attention to what he says, so I'll let him add things So, how many of you would be willing to travel to the above, and do you have any preference on location choice? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

northernbstard 84 Report post Posted December 14, 2012 Bloody grim oop Norf BD .... This Midlands section covers a bloody big area tbh ....Shouldn't it be broken down a bit ?

Guest Tony156 Report post Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) Not much in it for me between any of em. Bunch a carrots sounds good as this is (just) farther away, so may grab a few newbies from closer your end than here.... Just don't do it the same week as Staverton!

HarryP156 7 Report post Posted December 15, 2012 A mate of mine came up with the idea of Ledbury rugby club cause its basically just off the m50, and in-between Hereford, Ross, Gloucester, malvern and Bromyard so pretty central. I have also thought about the Rose and Crown in Hereford as they hold a lot of car meets there already so obviously dont mind them and theres usually a 156 parked in the carpark!

garwood1 1 Report post Posted September 15, 2013 Trumpet works fine.....Nice to see some activity in this neck of the woods at last. The other 2 work equally well. FWIW, the Wye Valley Brewery will also allow you to use their in-house pub/meeting room, and do group tours, if sufficient interest, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

garwood1 1 Report post Posted June 1, 2014 Car MOT'd, taxed and back on the road now, just need a good meet to go to. Had another thought...anyone else on here go to Shelsley Walsh for the hillclimbs ? They are always good fun, and the car park is like a car show, usually...Just a thought.
